They Dont have a voice, if they did they would say: “Rescue me”
Times are hard for everyone. One of the most unimaginable things that could happen would be loosing everything including your beloved pet. This is a reality for many. Can you imagine having a pet for years and then overnight having to take your beloved friend to a shelter and walk away hoping only for the best. Many of us are suffering during these times, but there are also many of us who could make a difference. This is the time to visit a shelter, the humane society, or even a rescue to adopt a cat or dog and save a life.
These pets are domesticated and solely dependent on us for the most simple level of care. It is our responsibility to care for them and lend a helping hand when our neighbor extends it in need. I worked at the humane society as well at animal control and I will tell you that they are extremely overcrowded, animals are housed literally on top of each other, they spread infections and stay ill in these facilities only to have their time expire as well as their lives. I apologize for being so direct but this is the blatant truth of the matter encouraging action for help.
If they could talk they would say please help, but since they can not, I will ask for them. Please if you can extend your home, a hand at a rescue, donate money, feed a stray, foster a pet.. whatever you can do, it will make a difference. Before you research acquiring a pet from a breeder, check your local rescue, I am certain you will find exactly what you are looking for. There a millions of pets of all ages, breeds, colors, all with loving personalities at shelters waiting for a home. Remember to spay and neuter.
I appreciate in advance your help, even just your consideration is appreciated.
